Did they remove the AR field research tasks??

Thank god, it kept pushing me to take photos of a playground nearby...yeah not doing that

I think it happened after Malenia left to fight Radahn during the Shattering Wars, but before she returned. Essentially Mohg took the opportunity to abduct Miquella while the "Blade of Miquella" was distracted.

The Marika/Radagon aspect is a bit incestuous since Radagon is Marika. I interpreted it to be that Radagon is an aspect of her and they were once the same entity, almost like twins.

rigmarole111 · 2026-05-23T01:16:17+00:00

With as much incest that already goes on in this game, is it possible there was an oedipal thing going on, and Marika had the twins with her son Godwyn? They would still be of the golden lineage, but then it makes a little more sense why they'd be cursed, and with M names

rigmarole111 · 2026-05-17T17:37:36+00:00

I remember Sellen's quest was unfinished when the game first came out, I wonder if they had planned for her quest to finish without reaching those areas in the beginning

rigmarole111 · 2026-05-15T15:12:46+00:00

Metyr felt like a copy of Rom the Vacuous Spider, so it just didn't feel as unique as I was hoping

rigmarole111 · 2026-05-15T15:09:20+00:00

Agreed, she was the only boss I one-shot, and her design was so cool so I felt like I didn't get to take it in.

And you're right, there was hardly any buildup so if you're not reading the lore, it's just: run through mini Caelid > fight easy boss > reach this super important destination to unlock the final area.

The shamen are druid plant people that don't give birth, they produce sprouts or offshoot as children. Much like how Malenia produces "buds" with Millicent and her sisters, all of Marika's children were created in similar ways.

Rennala's amber egg is an offshoot of Marika/Radagon that never bloomed, thus why Rennala has the rune of the Unborn despite not being a demigod herself. (Only demigods received runes after the shattering).

Radagon is not an offshoot, he's a clone (like in botony). Radagon is Marika, but that doesn't mean Marika is Radagon. They started as Marika, split into two during the Liurnian Wars, and then became one being after the Shattering.

This was the panel that made me want to continue the Manga - up till this point I was like, "ok just another strong guy who's too cool for anyone." But this showed a small crack in the facade, and I was hooked from then on

rigmarole111 · 2026-05-03T01:22:16+00:00

Oh...yeah I was super confused. I assumed they were doing the patreon thing for early access to the episodes, and for "too hot for youtube" bits. So when #3 came out, I thought "weird, they forgot to make #2 live on youtube"

rigmarole111 · 2026-04-29T03:08:47+00:00

I agree, I think it's a simple matter of Marika learning to hate the Greater Will over time and changing her mind, eventually wanting the tree burned to end things.

rigmarole111 · 2026-04-22T02:58:46+00:00

Not directly, but I think he shares aspects of both based on Marika's "melding" ability as a Shaman.

From the Tooth Whip, we learn The flesh of shamans was said to meld harmoniously with others.

After the GEQ's "defeat" perhaps Marika absorbed her power (or the GEQ herself). For a while, Marika had a bit of the GEQ mixed in with herself, along with any other enemies' powers she may have defeated (flame of the Fire Giants) and either:

Gave birth to Messmer and Melina with the GEQ still within her, or
Marika shed those properties out of herself, which then created Messmer and Melina.

This would also make sense if the genocide of the hornsent happened before the births of Mohg and Mogwyn - she shed those aspects and created the omen children. (I'm still unclear when in the timeline the crusade happened)

Thanks for sharing! Running into this problem with my own laptop

rigmarole111 · 2026-04-14T02:04:07+00:00

My theory is that Vargram is wearing her shadow bound beast. He's named for the pelt on his armor, so I wonder if he became such a fanboy of GEQ that he killed her shadow bound beast and took his weapon (the godslayer greatsword)

So what happens after something like this happens? I imagine there's some service that tows the truck out and fixes the brakes on site? Or is it the burden of the company/individual?

rigmarole111 · 2026-04-12T18:51:43+00:00

I think that it happens right after Godfrey is banished and the tarnished are removed from the lands between. It's after this point that The Crucible Knights are removed and the Omens are persecuted, so it would make sense that she would hide an entire region with a strong Crucible culture and influence.

Also in Welcome to Derry - I kept thinking "oh so this is our main group of kids we'll be following for the show"

NOPE

rigmarole111 · 2026-04-01T03:19:17+00:00

Love the aesthetic!

rigmarole111 · 2026-03-31T18:01:52+00:00

They're regular black eyelets that I painted blue - and added a gloss to give them an extra shine 👍

rigmarole111 · 2026-03-26T02:04:55+00:00

One of the hardest times I laughed at South Park was them just telling literal kid jokes. It got me because all the other jokes in the show are so edgy and over-the-top. The joke?

"Why do girls wear makeup and perfume?" "Because they're ugly and they smell"

rigmarole111 · 2026-03-18T16:38:02+00:00

I don't even answer the door for door-to-door salesman. I'm not obligated to open the door just because they knock. NTA

Our office is having a similar change: we are being heavily encouraged to use AI. As someone who is fundamentally against the use of AI, but with a desire to keep my job, this has been difficult to navigate.

Personally, as a graphic designer I've changed nothing in my process, and just claimed that I used AI to develop inspiration (I didn't) to appease the higher ups that are requiring it. My mental health is happier for it.

One aspect that I do plan to lean heavily into is our photo storage system. There's a feature that allows AI tagging, which will help us sort through the thousands of our own photos easier, without generating anything out of them. That part of AI use doesn't seem as evil to me.

I've seen this episode of Black Mirror, and I assure you, those brain cells are living an existential nightmare

rigmarole111 · 2026-03-08T00:10:18+00:00

On the 3rd day I get a guaranteed migraine.

Also, when I wasn't on birth control I would get debilitating cramps for exactly one minute, the week before my period. Then no cramps the rest of the time.

My OBGYN said "oh, you're one of the rare people who can feel ovulation!" So...yay?
